Appraisal Process
The Town of Brookline hired New England Municipal Resource Center (NEMRC) to complete a reappraisal of all property in Brookline for the 2025 grand list. The last reappraisal in Brookline was completed in 2008. Since that time, many changes have taken place, from physical changes to market valuation changes.
NEMRC has now completed a reappraisal of all real property in Brookline as of April 1, 2025. Over the past year we have inspected the properties and entered the information into a computer assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) system. Many changes in property values have occurred since the previous reappraisal, and many properties have undergone substantial physical changes.
Please consider your appraisal to be at current market levels. Previous assessments are statutorily required for reporting, but have no bearing on the current assessments. Current Use values and Veterans exemptions are not included in the listing.
The tax rate will be set after the completion of formal hearings and after the State finalizes the statewide rates. Do not equate a change in assessment with a change in tax amounts.
Every effort has been made to equitably assess property in Brookline. Please compare your property with similar properties, and with properties that have sold over the past three years.
